This was writen by Jim Lucas of the Rotary Club of Bloomington..Florida

A Rotarian is an ordinary person who:
- wants to do something extraordinary
- to rise above the daily routine
- to make a difference in a community and in the world.
- takes on a small task with unusual enthusiasm.
- has a vision of a world at peace, brought about by goodwill and understanding.
- sees 3 million children each year die from disease and asks, "Why?"
- sees 1200 Rotary Foundation scholarships each year and asks, "Why not more?"
- believes that truth is a difficult and worthy pursuit.
- acts not out of convenience, but out of conviction
.- believes that "Service above Self" is more than an ideal
- it is a belief that transforms an ordinary person into an
extraordinary member of the world community.

The 4 Way Test
One of the most widely printed and quoted statements of Business ethics
in the world is the Rotary Four-Way Test was created by
Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in 1932 when he was asked to take charge of a company
that was facing bankruptcy.
Taylor looked for a way to save the struggling company mired in depression
caused financial difficulties.
He drew up a 24-word code of ethics for all employees to follow
in their business and professional lives.
The Four-Way Test became the guide for sales, production, advertising
and all relations with dealers and customers,
and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy.
Herb Taylor became President of Rotary International in 1954-55.
The 4-Way Test was adopted by Rotary in 1943
and has been translated into more than a hundred languages
and published in thousands of ways.
Here it is in English:
of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the Truth?
2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
